Chapter and Discernment - A.K.A. What Fridays Look Like

Chapter

Friday mornings are a little more leisurely. We get to hang out in our PJs if we want to. First we have Chapter meeting. This is a time for checking in with each other, giving thanks for the good things each person brings to our lives, talking honestly about the concerns we have in our common life. We plan for the coming week, we assign chores.

Discernment

This is a workshop that includes scripture study, TEDx talks, and lots of conversation and play that moves us into thinking about where we come from (family of origin), where we are now (Benedictine Lifestyle and Christian Identity) and where we are going (Discerning Vocation and Lifestyle). We spend one Friday a month specifically focusing on our placement site and sharing significant incidents that are shaping us. It's all a part of our community's intention to deepen together in faith.
